Michael Moore Presents: Planet of the Humans

This movie is so jaw-dropping. It’s revealing the green movement scam, and leftist are pissed the fuck off at Michael Moore.

There’s a lot of inconvenient truths, and it gets a bit Malthusian. I don’t know what to say except... it takes a lot of effort to have an opinion and most people will join a protest so they can post pictures on their social media outlet.

I was hoping they’d talk about solyndra but they didn’t, and you’ll notice the first black president makes a favorable appearance in the beginning before the blanket of truth bombs are dropped.

I’m happy they mention the Rasmussens & Rockefellers, they just barely scratch the surface on these folks and their seed money tho.

I heard about this movie. Haven't had time to watch it. He's a smart man so it should be pretty good viewing.

 

[Rotadom]

Now Michael Moore is a hero to the right.

It’s sad, too. I cried during the last 15ish minutes.

Now Michael Moore is a hero to the right.

And now he is a zero to the left. It cuts both ways.

He's exposed enough of the right's shit behavior over the years that we can give him a pass for exposing this crap.

Michael Moore can be a hero to everyone. His obesity creates an opportunity for people of different political viewpoints to be around him without ever seeing the other admirers.

As soon as gov'ts and corporations start getting on board for anything you know we're all fucked.

You didn't actually watch it.

Humans are not "good" for the planet or any planet in the galaxy. However, this particular planet will outlast humans and then, in a few billion years, the sun will go super-nova. So whatever.

Bottom-line: If you plan on being around when the sun goes super-nova rent, don't own.

But this time he was a producer, someone else did the investigative journalism.

His Cuban Potemkin healthcare movie was shit. He should definitely stick to being a silent partner. Unless he wants to unwittingly explain why voting for Trump was a big Fuck You to the establishment left again. That was epic.

I think humans can be good for the planet, we just need to be better stewards.

The planet was doing just fine for itself over billions of years. At no point was a strip mall, coal mine, or parking lot going to improve things.

However, drive-thrus might be the exception.

It looks interesting. I downloaded from vimeo

Of course you want him to stay silent as this film is full of BS.

Environmentalist Bill McKibben responded to claims made in the documentary about him and the organization he cofounded, 350.org:

"A Youtube video emerged on Earth Day eve making charges about me and about 350.org — namely that I was a supporter of biomass energy, and that 350 and I were beholden to corporate funding, and have misled our supporters on the costs and trade-offs related to decarbonizing our economy. These things aren’t true." [28]

In Rolling Stone, McKibben continued: "the filmmakers didn’t just engage in bad journalism (though they surely did), they acted in bad faith. They didn’t just behave dishonestly (though they surely did), they behaved dishonorably. I’m aware that in our current salty era those words may sound mild, but in my lexicon they are the strongest possible epithets."

"Planet of the Humans" is regrettable. It's far more useful to focus on whatever environmental shortcomings renewable energy has, with an eye towards improvement. That there is no perfect solution does not follow that no solutions are better than some other solutions.

And now he is a zero to the left. It cuts both ways.

It comes down to if you are not a progressive in the ignorance of youth, you have no heart, if you are not a conservative after you have a chance to gain wisdom and experience, you have no brain.

Michael Moore is a slow bloomer. It isn't as if everyone with a brain didn't explain all this to him a couple of decades ago. It just finally sunk in.

Myself, I was never an ignorant youth. I was a conservative by 16 when I had the deduction on my paycheck for FICA explained to me. Since I can do arithmetic pretty well, I understood that Social Security was not the least bit sustainable and we're talking early 80s. People are living longer now, and the pool of Ponzi victims to scam is not growing at the rate Boomers are retiring.

How about you idiots first learn the law of conservation of energy and then get back with us?

There is no free lunch and anyone telling you there is, is selling you something.

I assure you, I know more about "conservation of energy" than do you, idiot.

No one said anything like or even close to that, Connie.

There is more to know about the Law of Conservation of Energy than the actual Law of the Ccnservation of Energy?

Sounds fascinating.

Go ahead. Explain it to me like I'm five like one of your alt's namesakes counseled.

If you do a good job with that I'll let you instruct me on Newton's Laws as well. I'm always eager to learn new things.

I think this guy would disagree with you.

(Couldn't resist. Sorry, not sorry.)

I stopped watching when they dumped on the Koch brothers, however, in the comments section for MM's latest effort,
someone left the following by Mark Twain...

"It’s easier to fool the masses than to convince them that they are being fooled."

The easier way almost always wins. Unless uneasy has more money. But even then...

ps. I'm kidding about the Koch brothers thing. I kept watching. Then I got to the part where Van Jones
and one of those Kennedys couldn't backtrack fast enough.

pps. And it was time for Gilmore Girls.

 

[BoyNextDoor]

I thought no mention of nuclear made it an incomplete consideration of the issue.

Its identification of the corporatization of the environmental movement was spot on and something environmentalists have known for a long time. The MSM corruption of the message is because 90%+ of media is owned by 5 corporations.

Nice to know that the alt-Right likes it as well. Maybe there is hope.

You crossed my mind when I was watching this. I’ve seen you argue the same exact points here. You better watch it! Vindication!

I’ve also seen you argue for nuclear and like BND I was a bit disappointed they didn’t talk about nuclear. Especially thorium, I’d like to know more . However, you can only take someone so far in one go and the movie wrecked green energy. It’s a lot to take in if you haven’t heard, or haven’t accepted it before now.

Also, I seem to be allying with BND more often... horseshoe theory proven?
